Manuel,

Thanks for sharing - I am totally with you! Love Ken Robinson's message and once I found Open Space so an immediate connection!

Do a google for "unschooling" and you will see some open space education in action ;)

For another like-minded perspective, check out John Taylor Gatto's book, Underground History of American Education<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Underground_History_of_American_Education> - I suspect it would apply to many other "modern" countries:)

I am a huge proponent of bringing this mentality to education and hope to do something with this in one of my lifetimes :)

Manuel,

Yes, and you may have seen the "hole in the wall" video, where kids in slums in India self-organize around learning, without any supervision at all. "Explainer" roles emerge, and the thing advances beautifully. Without any adults....(TED talk...)
http://www.ted.com/talks/sugata_mitra_shows_how_kids_teach_themselves?language=en

The title of the talk is "Outdoctrination", skip to 6:30 it gets really good there.

Folks,

for those of you who don't know Ken Robinson I'd like to invite you to take some time on this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wX78iKhInsc. I see lots of connections with open space and the kind of reasoning going on in this group.

To tell you my person opinion, I am so much into Open space that I would push the education system even further, where children could apply the law of two feet beautifully and creatively and let them go where their interests push them. But I guess we have to wait a bit more for that.

Anyway there is some good thoughts about control and learning that are worth listening to. and most of all it's fun. enjoy it!
